SCAP-Security-Guide - Delivers security guidance, baselines, and associated validation mechanisms
Contents
Description
The project provides practical security hardening advice and also links it to compliance requirements in
order to ease deployment activities, such as certification and accreditation. These include requirements
in the U.S. government (Federal, Defense, and Intelligence Community) as well as of the financial
services and health care industries. For example, high-level and widely-accepted policies such as NIST
800-53 provides prose stating that System Administrators must audit "privileged user actions," but do not
define what "privileged actions" are. The SSG bridges the gap between generalized policy requirements and
specific implementation guidance, in SCAP formats to support automation whenever possible.

NISTNationalChecklistProgramSecurityGuide
Profile ID: xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ncp
This compliance profile reflects the core set of security related configuration settings for
deployment of Oracle Linux 7 into U.S. Defense, Intelligence, and Civilian agencies. Development
partners and sponsors include the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S.
Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, and Red Hat.
This baseline implements configuration requirements from the following sources:
- Committee on National Security Systems Instruction No. 1253 (CNSSI 1253) - NIST Controlled
Unclassified Information (NIST 800-171) - NIST 800-53 control selections for MODERATE impact
systems (NIST 800-53) - U.S. Government Configuration Baseline (USGCB) - NIAP Protection Profile
for General Purpose Operating Systems v4.2.1 (OSPP v4.2.1) - DISA Operating System Security
Requirements Guide (OS SRG)
For any differing configuration requirements, e.g. password lengths, the stricter security setting
was chosen. Security Requirement Traceability Guides (RTMs) and sample System Security
Configuration Guides are provided via the scap-security-guide-docs package.
This profile reflects U.S. Government consensus content and is developed through the OpenSCAP/SCAP
Security Guide initiative, championed by the National Security Agency. Except for differences in
formatting to accommodate publishing processes, this profile mirrors OpenSCAP/SCAP Security Guide
content as minor divergences, such as bugfixes, work through the consensus and release processes.

NIST800-53High-ImpactBaselineforRedHatEnterpriseLinuxCoreOS
Profile ID: xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_high-rev-4
This compliance profile reflects the core set of High-Impact Baseline configuration settings for
deployment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS into U.S. Defense, Intelligence, and Civilian
agencies. Development partners and sponsors include the U.S. National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, and Red Hat.
This baseline implements configuration requirements from the following sources:
- NIST 800-53 control selections for High-Impact systems (NIST 800-53)
For any differing configuration requirements, e.g. password lengths, the stricter security setting
was chosen. Security Requirement Traceability Guides (RTMs) and sample System Security
Configuration Guides are provided via the scap-security-guide-docs package.
This profile reflects U.S. Government consensus content and is developed through the
ComplianceAsCode initiative, championed by the National Security Agency. Except for differences in
formatting to accommodate publishing processes, this profile mirrors ComplianceAsCode content as
minor divergences, such as bugfixes, work through the consensus and release processes.
